Where the fuck am I supposed to get Burger dollars for Baht on the Thai side here? The Cambodian side wants $30 in mint condition but there's nowhere to get them before crossing the border. I've never felt so financially underprepared for a travel situation. I have a Schwab card but I can only get fucking baht
Let this be a lesson, always travel with USD. I have 100s, 20s, and 5s totaling $375 tucked in a pocket in my wallet, specifically for visa payments but also in case my Schwab card gets blocked for fraud or antisemitism.

>>2744045you could buy and sell gold...
>>2744045I love how these places admit straight up their currency is shit, and demand USD. It's cute that the news agency use fear tactics talking about BRICS.
>>2744089saar brics dollar number one! I buy many bobs and vagene with brics dollar. Uganda and Bolivia join brics this year!
>>2744091get a load of this fucking Monopoly money
Can't you get an eVisa online? Or are they not valid for land crossings?
>>2744061wtf? I never carry more than $40 in my wallet because some people like to look over your shoulder to see what I have
>>2744045prostitutes probably have cash, could trade
>>2744097This seems like OP's best option.>>2744103A good precaution in countries where robbery is a favorite pastime of lowlife youths. In such shitholes I rubber-band the extra cash around a bank card and slip it in a separate pants pocket.
